90s Party Prep

Students scramble as June 15 approaches, while plans and preparation slowly draw to a close the pressure is on to execute the ultimate party to kick off the summer.

The groundwork for the event has been ongoing since early April as practicum students are faced with marketing, promoting, and ticket sales for 90s Rewind.

Co-leader of the marketing team, Jerome LeDuff, expressed his excitement about the event.

“I’m having a good time and I really feel that the theme will pull audiences from many backgrounds, I grew up in the 90s and am excited to see the headliner, Saved by the 90s, perform songs I grew up listening too.” said LeDuff.

Under the guidance of Jacob Poore and Coyote Advertising staff, the students are broken into five teams: promotions, venue and talent, VIP, sales, and marketing.

Due to the complexity of the event students are given the opportunity apply teaching from previous courses, internships, and jobs in a physical working environment to execute an entertaining event that will become valuable material to put on a resume.

Student, Kaitlyn Norris, part of the venue and talent team said, “This is a great learning experience for all of us, we have made so many connections by planning an entertainment event of this size.”

Some are already benefiting from the experience, Haley Brown, a member of promotions explains how approaching people to discuss the event has helped her.
